"Finally, I sat up. "So, I suppose you should do something, wolfie. Hunt maybe?"A grunt, the tone saying no."Run? Get some exercise?"Another grunt, less decisive, more like a maybe.He pushed to his feet, wobbly, still adjusting to his new center of gravity. He gingerly moved one fore paw, then the next, one rear paw, then the other. He picked up the pace, but still slow as he circled the clearing.

"Good night, Jeremy," I said, and closed the door.I stepped away, reached back and started unzipping my dress.He pressed his hands to the glass. I could read his lips. "That's not fair."I smiled and finished unzipping. The dress slid off my shoulders, but stayed there. I looked at him, his gaze fixed on me, eyes dark with lust."You wouldn't dare," he mouthed.I turned, then let it fall off the rest of the way. And, once off, there was nothing else to remove."Jaime!"I heard him though the glass, heard him say my name in a deep growl that made me shiver, but I didn't turn around, just lifted my fingers to wave over my shoulder, then strolled into the bathroom for a very long, very cold shower." ~ Kelley Armstrong

"You know what I'm saying."He tried to nod, then snarled at the awkwardness of it."Not easy when you can't talk, is it?" I grinned. "Well, not easy for you. I could get used to it."He grumbled, but I coulld see the relief in his eyes, like he was glad to see me smile."So I was right, wasn't I?
